all that matters is that you got away from that mate, by the sounds of things the bike is a write off, i doubt you'd wanna get back onto such a severely damaged bike anyways. also dont ever ride side by side with cars, even if it means speeding to get in front so they can see you. best of luck mate

having a look at written off bike on the net it really doesnt take much...

did the car stop or anything?

advice ive been told its to ride slightly faster than the flow of traffic. if you are moving compared to everything else you are a bit more likely to be noticed in mirrors etc.

Well, thats the thing.

The car in the right lane was in heavy traffic at 30ish K's, and I was heading past them in heavy traffic as well but a bit faster.

But yes, I know exactly what you are meaning to pass them to get out of thier spots, regularly do that.

Good to hear you walked away mate! the bikes def a wrote off, even if it was repairable, you wouldnt want to get back on such a badly damaged bike anyway.
but its also great to hear that youve gotten striaght back on a bike. and your riding! ^^ great choice for an upgrade

On abit of a rant, it really Sh!ts me when you hear of a bike crash because some toll in a car didnt look where they were going.
